    A very good tour the only comment I would make was although we enjoyed the piano recital at Natchez the explanation of the different types of notes was way above most peoples comprehension and was too long .

    We had a really good group of people, we all got along well and enjoyed each other’s company. The tour was so interesting as it was all about the history of music and the origins of country, blues, rock and soul. The tastes and sounds of the southern areas of the US states. It was fascinating and was a journey of discovery for me with Austin who is a highly experienced and knowledge tour guide. Well done Trafalgar, you have never disappointed us.

    Our guide Austin Coop was excellent. He was attentive and knowledgable. One man on the trip could not speak or hear. He wrote out all key information to make the man's trip good for him.

    Definitely lots of music and food! Loved the Opry, Graceland, the plantation tours and dinners. Our tour director was so organized and we loved finding treats, information or trip aids in our seat. The optional swamp tour was fun and we saw so many gators!
